India world’s second largest importer of major arms: reportThree women and three men, aged between 32 and 55, died in Thursday’s tragedy. Mumbai police spokesperson Manjunath Singe said in a WhatsApp message to journalists that a first information report had been registered against officials for “causing death by negligence”. Indian railway officials blamed bad weather despite commuter warnings before the tragedy of a disaster waiting to happen. About 7.5 million passengers commute in nearly 2,500 trains daily on Mumbai’s colonial-era rail network, a lifeline for the city’s 20 million residents. Commuters say investment in the railway’s crumbling infrastructure has not kept up with the city’s burgeoning population.
